WUWT reader David Summers sends this photo along taken a few days ago in 2007 in Australia from a colleague that “returned there for the summer”. I thought it might make a fun photo caption exercise.
Note: This photo as represented to me in email, was supposedly recent.
Thanks to alert WUWT reader “snow captain of queanbeyan” obviously now that is not the case. So much for trusting friendly emails from people. The photo was originally taken in 2007 and you can see the details here.
Still, as originally intended, feel free to make a fun photo caption.
Dave – glad you got this posted. I’d note that in mid-May we are still getting occasional frosts here in Aberdeen – nothing unusual about that – in my great great grandfather’s days.
This white stuff ….”What’s up with that !!!”
Happy Feet III!

Winter Olympic fence hopping trials were recently held in Australia with a sure gold metal winner showing his/her superior outback talents.

Where was the photo taken? Not in the Northern Territory, I would wager?
Victoria? Southern NSW? Somewhere near the great dividing range?
Mother to Child in Pouch:
Get out of there and help me shovel this snow that Al Gore says is not here.

“Where’s Wong and Garrett when I need to feel warm and fuzzy about the climate?”
BTW we are heading into winter. The Ranges have experienced record cold temperatures for April if I remember.
Due to this massive disruption in the climate caused by climate change …
… we will have to move the Polar Bears to Australia and move the Kangaroos to the Arctic.

Damn! They dropped the sequestered CO2 on my garden again!
“I’ve just turned up for the AGW demonstration. Where is every one else? At least I’m dressed for it”
Australia is a continent as is roughly the same size as the lower 48. There are many Hills that are covered in snow during the winter season. There are a huge amount of cross country skiable areas in the snowfields. There is a derivation of the wallaby that lives in the mountains that is even labeled “snow wallabies”.
Australia has seen white Christmas’s. (Summer Season).
The Australian mainland recently saw a April low temperature of -13 degrees Celsius.
Tasmania (A State of Australia in case you didn’t know) has an overlooking mountain that regularly sees summer snow.
To cap it all, I’ve just been banned from Real Climate for denialist cherry-picking and deliberately confusing Weather with Climate!
Sorry that last post should state that Hobart, the capital city of tasmania has an overlooking mountain that regular sees summer snow.
Al, what happened?
Perhaps marsupials evolved a pocket to keep their forepaws warm.
When all else had failed on global warming, the Australian Government finally turned to the hero of Australian Television, Skippy the bush kangaroo.
A spokesman for Skippy was quoted “that after spending a lifetime of catching crooks, rescuing people lost in the bush, finding food and feeding the hungry, and saving the worthy, Skippy saw this as a natural progression of his super hero status.
“I mean why do you need politicians full of hot air, when if you truly believe in skippy, he will solve all.”
This picture was taken with skippy on his first full day on the job as the UN’s ambassador for global cooling.
Breaking News – Arctic Killer Roo eats Caitlin Expedition.
For weeks Pen Hadow and his team had been trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Polar Bears from the Arctic. Initially measurements indicated something strange was happening to the Polar Bear population and that global conglomerate Coca Cola had been implicated in the poisoning of the poor animals’ environment by adding CO2 to their beverages. Recently the US administration added the Polar Bear to endangered species list and banned diet coke (a Polar Beer favorite). This latest report, however, suggests that the Polar Bears’ demise is possibly down to a mysterious predator which has been stalking the Arctic. In an amazing twist of fate, man made global warming has allowed a new form of species to evolve and go on walkabout – the Killer Wallaby. Worse than “Out of Africa” this “Out of Australia” menace is proving more dastardly than John Howard (who once put his arm around the Queen). We go live to Prince Charles (a personal friend of Pen Hadow), “It is with great sadness that I report that the entire North Pole Expotition, led by my dear friend Pen Hadow, have all been eaten by a mysterious Killer Roo some 600 miles from reaching their goal. All we have is this photo that was recovered from a camera found at the team’s abandoned camp.”
Roo, “Global warming my pouch! Where’s Gavin?”
